Pope Francis: ‘Europe Must be Federal’
The Catholic Herald (UK) ^ | 7/11/17 | Staff Reporter

Posted on 07/11/2017 8:37:22 PM PDT by marshmallow

Pope Francis reportedly said Europe 'will no longer count for anything in the world' if it does not federalize

Pope Francis has reportedly said that Europe “must become a federal community or it will no longer count for anything in the world”.

His comments were apparently made in an interview with Eugenio Scalfari, the 93-year-old La Repubblica journalist who does not record interviews or take notes.

Scalfari writes that he told Pope Francis that Europe must become a federal state if it is to deal with the ongoing migrant crisis, to which the Pope responded, “True, I have repeatedly raised this.”

If Europe federalized, it would collapse on itself with a few years.

God not needed, apparently. Just government.

This man is an idiot. The rock star popster wants more attention than anyone. What a bad joke.

So, the first Third World Pope thinks Europe’s first priority s/b to organize itself to accommodate “migrants”? No surprise there.

Great. The Catholic Church is a political party now.

Who does this guy think he is, Dick Morris?

This pope spends a lot of time pushing left wing politics.

A 93-year-old journalist who doesn’t record anything or take notes would be a hilarious comedy character.

He needs to step down so that he can promote his Marxist religion full time.

Cool idea Francis. You going to let Brussels set the law and policies inside Vatican city? You know, that tiny “nation” you struck a deal with Benito Mussolini to establish?

The worst perverts and criminals in the College of Cardinals met for years, working on getting Bergoglio elected. They came close in 2005. At least Benedict spared us eight years of Bergoglio.

The Sankt Gallen Mafia are collaborators, accomplices, tools, puppets of the international Marxist, globalist, UN, EU, eugenicist, abortionist, totalitarian Left. They finally got one of their own in the Papacy—a sock puppet of Soros and virtually every other evil actor in the world—i.e., only the super-rich ones.

Bergoglio’s project is to drive all the real Catholics out of the Vatican (there are five or six left), then out of the Church. He will not do anything himself, but will ALLOW (as he has with Communion for notorious sinners) the celebration of a new Lutheran “mass,” the ordination of womyn-priests, etc. He will continue his snuggling with abortionists, trannies, etc.—something 90% of American and European bishops have been doing for forty years.

Bergoglio has been seizing control of millions, even billions, of dollars from the Knights of Malta and other institutions. He has seized control of contemplative orders, with a view to squashing them. He is trying to seize control of the SSPX, with a view to crushing the use of the Missal of 1962.

Eventually, a FEW bishops will break with Bergoglio. They will, outwardly, be “schismatics.” The “official,” “real” Catholic Church will still be headquartered in the Vatican and celebrate “mass” in St. Peter’s. The “real” Catholic Church will have most of the buildings, most of the money, and the government funding for its “charities.”

And Bergoglio will have what he has sought his entire life: POWER. And this is ESSENTIAL: POWER exercised absolutely without reference to any “truth.” Just POWER.

Witness the rages and screaming of Bergoglio (known to everyone in Rome for years) whenever Cardinals have pointed out that his exercises of POWER have run contrary to the truth.

Lemme guess... the ‘crisis’ concerns too few Islamists have infiltrated Western Europe.

Great reply, love your handle, and a tapenade with kalamata olives.

Recipe: one can Kalamata olives, pitted
3 garlic cloves
2-3 oil-cured anchovy fillets,
Zest and juice of half a lemon,
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped parsley,
One tablespoon fresh thyme leaves,
1/8 cup fine quality dark rum

Coarsely chop everything together, then place in food processor and run till almost pureed but with ingredients still "coarse" Add salt to taste. Voila!

Forgot the olive oil. 5-6 tablespoons, enough to give it smooth texture.

The Pope’s views on this merit far less attention than the views of any random European, since the Pope isn’t from Europe. Nor do I remember anything about Jesus stating that Peter and his successors would be the rock on which a socialist federation in Europe would be built.

Why are these two old men worried about the future of the French government when the Muslim hoards are moving into Paris?
